1. Introduction to Tungsten Carbide Plates
Tungsten carbide plates, also known as carbide plates or cemented carbide flat stock, are engineered composite materials consisting of tungsten carbide hard particles bonded with a metal binder (typically cobalt). With hardness second only to diamond and exceptional wear resistance, these plates offer unmatched performance in high-stress industrial applications.
At Panda Carbide Technology CO., LTD, we specialize in manufacturing customized carbide plates tailored to your industry needs — from mining to tooling and precision machining. Our products are designed for durability, stability, and long service life.
2. Why Choose Panda Carbide Plates?
- Exceptional Hardness & Wear Resistance
Tungsten carbide plates exhibit extreme hardness (often HRA 88–93+) and superior resistance to abrasive wear, far outperforming tool steels and conventional metals. This means longer life, less downtime, and reduced replacement costs for industrial machinery.
- High Compressive Strength
With compressive strengths reaching up to 6000 MPa or higher, carbide plates maintain structural integrity under high loads, intense friction, and elevated temperatures.
- Thermal & Corrosion Resistance
These plates maintain stability in high-temperature environments (up to 500°C or more) and resist corrosion and chemical attacks, making them ideal for aggressive operating conditions.
- Customization & Precision
Panda Carbide offers customized solutions — from plate thickness and size to specific micro-structures and binder contents — ensuring performance tailored to your exact application requirements.
3. Applications Across Industries
Carbide plates are versatile and essential in environments where wear, abrasion, and impact are unavoidable. (Learn more about Tungsten Carbide on Wikipedia)
